Intel Arc G3 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc G3 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The Arc G3 has no recorded benchmark scores, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has ten recorded tests. This absence of comparative data means the two products cannot be evaluated against each other on a test-by-test basis. Instead, the available information allows for analysis of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's absolute performance and its position relative to other GPUs in the database.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's recorded benchmarks show a wide range of scores across different testing methodologies. Its PassMark G3D score of 31,811 and GPU compute score of 18,372 represent the strongest results in its recorded suite. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 199,267 substantially exceeds the Vulkan score of 53,683, indicating differences in how the GPU performs under different compute APIs. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,569 provides a modern DirectX 12 gaming workload measurement. PassMark DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12 scores of 360, 181, 278, and 119 respectively, show the expected pattern of lower scores in legacy APIs compared to the G3D aggregate.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER achieves an average benchmark score of 31,087, placing it in the 76th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 with an average score of 31,206 (0.4% higher), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q at 31,220 (0.4% higher), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at 31,532 (1.4% higher), and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX at 31,676 (1.9% higher). The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER trails its closest competitor, the TITAN RTX, by 1.9%, a margin that falls within typical run-to-run variance for benchmark scores. This grouping of rivals within a 1.9% band indicates the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER sits at a competitive performance tier where small score differences separate adjacent products.

The Arc G3's percentile rank of 50th among all GPUs, combined with zero recorded benchmark scores, means the database treats it as a mid-tier product without empirical performance verification. No wins are recorded for either product in head-to-head comparisons, as no such tests exist in the database.

Where Each One Wins

Without head-to-head benchmark data, win attribution relies on architectural and specification analysis from the recorded characteristics of each product.

The Intel Arc G3 wins in power efficiency and physical integration. Its thermal design power of 25 W compared to the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 285 W represents an 11.4x reduction in power draw. The Arc G3 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no power connectors and a slot width of "IGP", meaning it requires no additional power cabling and fits within the processor package. Its 3 nm process node from Intel contrasts with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 5 nm node from TSMC, and the smaller process geometry contributes to the power differential. The Arc G3's memory configuration is system shared, meaning it uses the host system's memory rather than dedicated VRAM, which eliminates dedicated memory cost and complexity.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins in raw compute capability across every measurable metric. Its FP32 throughput of 44.10 TFLOPS is 7.2x higher than the Arc G3's 6.144 TFLOPS. The FP16 performance shows a similar disparity: 44.10 TFLOPS (1:1) versus 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1). The pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s gives the NVIDIA product a 5.2x advantage. Texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s represents a 7.2x advantage. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's dedicated 16 GB GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 672.3 GB/s bandwidth provides vastly superior memory bandwidth compared to the Arc G3's system-shared memory, which has system-dependent bandwidth.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER also wins in shading resources. It has 8,448 shading units versus 1,280 for the Arc G3 (6.6x), 264 texture mapping units versus 40 (6.6x), 96 ROPs versus 20 (4.8x), 66 ray tracing cores versus 10 (6.6x), and 264 tensor cores versus none listed for the Arc G3. The NVIDIA GPU's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface provides dedicated bandwidth to the host, while the Arc G3's IGP bus interface shares system resources.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins on discrete card features: it is a triple-slot card measuring 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width, with a 1x 16-pin power connector and a suggested 600 W power supply. The Arc G3 has no physical dimensions listed and no power supply requirement, as it is integrated into the processor.

Architecture Differences

The Arc G3 uses Intel's Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel's foundry. The shading array consists of 1,280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. No tensor core count is listed. The GPU has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2,400 MHz. Its memory architecture is entirely system shared, with no dedicated VRAM, memory type, bus width, or bandwidth figures. The memory clock is listed as "System Shared" as well. The TDP is 25 W, and it uses no power connectors. API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Arc G3 is currently in active production with a release date of May 31, 2026.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses NVIDIA's AD103 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, part of the GeForce 40-series.
